Well...um...I thought maybe you inverted the track ball...and, you know, 
sort of moved it around that way...you know what I mean?

There was a recent case of someone in one of our buildings that cleaned 
a trackball with some material that took off the covering of the ball. 
I think they used one of those bleach wipes that kill bacteria.  The 
optical sensors couldn't get a good reading off the ball anymore.

I don't know if it worked but my boss told her to try putting auto wax 
on the ball to get it to work again.
